The Asian Games and Commonwealth Games silver medallist shared the heartbreaking news with a social media post, \"All my life, I've had the courage to look at a setback in the eye, accept situations I can't change, and work hard at dictating the outcomes of those I can. Unfortunately, in what feels like a nightmare, but is a reality, my Paris Olympic Games dream is over,\" the post read.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"To wake up healthy every single day, and watch yourself get into the best shape of your life, is every athlete's dream. I was living it, until this incident. Life writes strange scripts, and sometimes there is courage in accepting it and moving on. That's what I will do,\" the post further read.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 25-year-old sealed the Olympics qualification at the Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok in July last year, clinching silver with a best jump of 8.37m, breaching the automatic qualification mark of 8.27m.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"My journey to a comeback began the minute I injured my knee. This road is going to be long, difficult and will take a lot out of me. The good thing is, I have a lot to give. I will overcome this, because that's what Mamba Mentality is all about.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I will need your prayers, love and positive energy. I may jump alone, but it takes a collective push before every leap. This is my biggest one yet,\" Sreeshankar wrote.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In 2023, Sreeshankar delivered a remarkable season, clinching a silver at the Hangzhou Asian Games and securing the silver medal at the Asian Championships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Last year, he also became the first Indian long jumper to qualify for the Diamond League final following his fifth-place in the Zurich leg after the third and fifth-place finish in the Paris and Lausanne legs, respectively. But he had skipped the prestigious event to focus on his preparation for the Asian Games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/long-jumper-sreeshankar-murali-ruled-out-of-paris-olympics-with-knee-injury.jpg", "alt_img": "Long jumper Sreeshankar Murali ruled out of Paris Olympics with knee injury", "alt_title": "Murali Sreeshankar,", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Long Jumper Sreeshankar Murali Ruled Out Of Paris Olympics With Knee Injury On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Long Jumper Sreeshankar Murali Ruled Out Of Paris Olympics With Knee Injury, The Asian Games: With less than 100 days to go for Paris 2024, ace Indian long jumper Sreeshankar Murali has.", "seo_keywords": "Sreeshankar Murali, Paris Olympics, New Delhi, The Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Paris Olympic Games, Asian Athletics Championships, Mamba Mentality, Hangzhou Asian Games, Asian Championships, Diamond League, Asian Games", "tag": "", "tagging": "Sreeshankar Murali, Paris Olympics, New Delhi, The Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Paris Olympic Games, Asian Athletics Championships, Mamba Mentality, Hangzhou Asian Games, Asian Championships, Diamond League, Asian Games", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "long-jumper-sreeshankar-murali-ruled-out-of-paris-olympics-with-knee-injury", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1207", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-04-18 15:30:04", "updated": "2024-04-18 15:30:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Sreeshankar Murali, Paris Olympics, New Delhi, The Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, Paris Olympic Games, Asian Athletics Championships, Mamba Mentality, Hangzhou Asian Games, Asian Championships, Diamond League, Asian Games", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-04-18 15:30:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "athletics", "cnmid": "892564", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/long-jumper-sreeshankar-murali-ruled-out-of-paris-olympics-with-knee-injury-14619" }
